Hey guys,

Looking for some advice on the UFO LED mod, specifically these: http://www.pinballcenter.eu/catalog/noflix-led-ufo-green-p-2560.html?language=english

Whilst a great mod I've found a massive issue with them is that if you just leave them loose, the vibrations caused by the metal rings on the pops going up and down cause the wires to eventually break off. I installed them on my JM and after maybe 10 games the first one broke when a wire came off. Temporarily I have stuck them to the underside of the caps with tape which seems to have reduced the issue a bit (before the motion of the rings was very noticeable but now they don't move much at all) but again tonight one has gone out as I assume a wire has come off yet again. I'm just wondering if anyone has discovered a more permanent solution to keep them in place!
 
I don't think they were ever meant just to be left loose.... A couple of dabs of hot glue either side has kept mine firmly fixed
to the caps over many games.
